Our last wedding of 2017 was Emma and Richard's, at one of our favourite venues. We are recommended wedding photographers at Waterton Park Hotel and it was lovely to end the season at this great venue in the company of such a wonderful couple. Emma got ready in the bridal suite on the island and she had loads of pretty accessories for us to photograph before we braved the cold and started Richard's photo session outside by the lake. Weddings like theirs are a joy and a privilege to share and despite the fact that it was absolutely freezing, Emma's beautiful smile never slipped, nor did she complain once about the cold. She and Richard made our job an absolute pleasure. After the ceremony in the Walton Suite and some gorgeous, emotional moments as the couple tied the knot, everyone was really obliging and trooped across the bridge for the confetti shots and stayed out afterwards for long enough for us to capture a big group photo. We suspect the guests were glad though when we suggested they go back inside to thaw out whilst we enjoyed the company of the new Mr and Mrs Uwins around the grounds and those iconic spots, which just had to be featured in their Walton Hall wedding photographs. We resorted to our plan B, which is good to have when the weather isn't the best, and photographed the family groups in the library, which kept everyone nice and toasty, before we broke the news to the bridal party that we had to nip out for a few minutes to photograph them around the columns at the front. We knew the couple wanted some twilight photos, and we were determined to do everything we could to make this work, given that twilight is when twilight is and it doesn't wait! Between the two of us we managed to capture the speeches, set up lighting outside at just the right time, rush back indoors to find that Emma and Richard were between courses (perfect!), get outside again, set them up together in the archway, arrange Emma's dress, take the photos and get them back inside again before the main course appeared. Love it when a plan comes together! Our grateful thanks guys for choosing us to share your celebrations, for being so enthusiastic despite it being extremely cold and for the amazing review you gave us. Our heartfelt congratulations to you both!
